Tribal man sacrifices son, sister and niece in Orissa by anamika.mis15

This face of religion and related dogmas is making the whole ideology of relogion a stupidity.Sacrificinf ones beloved ones on the name of God is very old tradition , but it is almost dead.

BARIPADA (Orissa): A tribal man allegedly killed his son, sister and niece to sacrifice them during a puja at Anibajada, about 35 km from here in Ori ssa's Mayurbhanj district, police said on Saturday.

Bansidhar Madhial, who had performed a puja late Friday night, allegedly hit and killed his sister Katina Nayak (35) and niece Rekha (10) with a blunt object.

They died on the spot, police said. Madhial's son Jagan (13), critically injured in the incident, died in a nearby hospital in Betanati after being admitted there.

Madhial, a clerk in a government office here, has been taken into custody and further proceedings are underway, police said.

Though the reason behind the killing was yet to be ascertained, preliminary findings indicated it could be a case of human sacrifice as the accused had been worshipping during late hours of night for the last couple of days, police said.

Katina and Rekha, who live in neighbouring Gaudagaon village, had gone to Madhial's house to celebrate Dussehra.
